Proposed Change: Augustus Robert Lang (I219539)Tree: Südpfalz / Southern PalatinateLink: http://www.birkenhoerdt.net/getperson.php?personID=I219539&tree=SuedpfalzDescription: Augustus Robert /Michael Lang (Louis Phillip Lang, Elizabeth Yockey, Lorenz, Caspar Jacky) was born August 12, 1881 and died November 1, 1881 in Woodsfield, Monroe, Ohio. There appears to be a discrepancy in Augustus's middle name. In the one obit the submitter notes his middle name was Michael; however, in the Ohio, Births and Christenings Index, 1800-1962 on-line database his name is shown as Augustus Robert Lang with the correct birth date, location, and parents. Either name makes sense as Michael could be for his grandfather Jean Michael Lang but later Louis names one of his other sons Robert so he could have given it to Augustus first.Lang, Augustus Lang 2nd obitSpirit of Democracy, Woodsfield, Ohio, dated, November 15, 1881Died-Augustus, infant son of Lewis and Alice Lang, near Woodsfield, November 1, 1881, aged 2 months and 19 days.Gussie was born on the 12th day of August 1881. He was a sweet child, and the joy and the pride of a father and mother young in life. His sojourn upon this terrestrial ball was brief, and being brief 'twas sweet to meet his God."Here was a rose, a budding rose,Blasted before its bloom;Whose innocence did sweets discloseBeyond the flower's perfume.To those who for his loss are grievedThis consolation's given-He's from a world of woe relievedAnd blooms a rose in Heaven."Parents, weep not, for the innocent babe which has so recently been consigned to the tomb is to-lay with our Heavenly Father and the angels, seeing more joy than all earthy joys combined.Gussie wears a crown in glory-Brighter far than burnished gold, And within his precious fingers, He a golden harp doth hold.Lang, Augustus Michael LangSpirit of Democracy, Woodsfield, Ohio, dated, November 8, 1881An infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Lang died near Woodsfield last week.
